Seven components to computational thinking
Collect data, analyze data, find patterns, decompose problems, abstract, build models and develop algorithms.
Collect Data
Determine sources from which you will collect data, and decide which qualitative and quantitative data to collect.
Analyze Data
Produce and evaluate charts, and use appropriate statistical methods to test a hypothesis.
Find Patterns
Identify patterns to make predictions, create rules and solve other problems.
Decompose Problems
Take large complicated problems, and break them down into manageable pieces.
Abstract
Identify similarities and remove details to create a solution that works for many different problems.
Build Models
Test, tweak and refine an object before building it in real life using design software to predict outcomes.
Develop Algorithms
Create solutions using step-by-step instructions that operate like a road map for performing a task.
